Co-Founder & Board Member

Dec 2016 - Aug 2020
Keep Colorado Green is an environmental non-profit founded and run by students, to engage young people in the political process. In my role, I led outreach to college campuses, environmental groups, and political campaigns. By building relationships through endorsements and advocacy for candidates and issues at the state and local level, we grew our organization to over 400 volunteers with 7 active campuses in Colorado. We also wrote and proposed the Future Note Bill, and worked with state legislators to successfully pass HB19-1188, which requires greenhouse emissions reports for proposed legislation in Colorado. This bill was signed into law in May, 2019.
